    DjArizona Marvin  Gray  love ya 'all!!! Can I get a he'll yeah!
    Marvin G.

    I am Dj Arizona a few years back I was the kareoke Dj for Gary okie Kareoke. This place was a saving grace for me ,I became disabled and it gave me something to do and be proud of .I was depressed but the opertnity was a blessing .I made more friends there than I had ever dreamed of . When I played music it helped me heal .And as a bonus I got to be a friend that had great advise .My goal each night I played music I tried to play positive music I stayed away from picking fight music or the disrespect of ladies music ,Because I'm a cowboy and a gentleman , I made a few people dislike my way to play music that keeps the crowd happy laughing dancing and buying the coldest beer in town.instead of fighting like drunk folk tend to do from time to time.Hey,it's a bar things tend to get out of polite demeaner.but those were fairly dealt with 86 was the term .and some bad folk had to be tamed by Visalia pd who always handled things very efficiently . Yes it was THE PUMPHOUSE! Bit of a dive .but that's the charm,you could be who you really are ,and always among friends . Well for a time I had the old place dancing to cottonseed Joe I am proud to have introduce couples who now are married and happy .I loved celebrating anything special with folks,getting married birthdays and yes the finalization of a divorce lol. This place is in my heart .if it were possible I would play karaoke there till I am dead .the new owners I have not met but they have fixed this place up nicely .Wish I could play and sing again there and help them make great money . Give folks a great country music night out,with awesome bikers,Rock loving younger folk,and all of them good folks ,like family.when I played there I made sure folks got home safe as did the great bartenders ,oh let me tell ya the whisky sours there I called gasoline ! They always were perfect as was all The cool mixes they would confect for all to enjoy . As you all can see I love the PumpHouse. It's in my heart and I'm proud to have had he great times I had there . I will recommend if you are good folks in need of a nice place to meet great hardworking folks just like yourself go see maybe put your name in chalk somewhere on the wall to see how long it stays .yup this place is not the grand hotel bar,but it's got the best friendly folks you like and want to meet . And The COLDEST BEER in town .GodBless this old dive I made the best friends I have right there It Owns a part of this old cowboys heart ,Just Go it has a beautiful charm. Like no other ... thanks your friend ArizonaMarvin Gray

    If you want a neighborhood bar with a great vibe, look no further than the Rock N' Horse Saloon…read more Making a bar feel like a home away from home is not an easy feat, but owner Jeff and his crew have nurtured an atmosphere that makes this the premiere watering hole when visiting Tulare. I've been in several times now and always find it to be a welcoming environment. It's a small town and there are a lot of regulars, so it already feels like the old TV show where "everyone knows your name." there's a big stage right near the front entrance and a quality band plays rock and country covers, along with some originals and the occasional vocal cameo from Jeff himself. Everyone on that stage has some immense talent. Even better, there is rarely a song that goes by that doesn't bring everyone to the dance floor. My choice is bellying up at the bar for a stiff drink at a reasonable price. Put it all together and you have a top choice for any weekend night.

    Experience was interesting for an establishment to say the least. We were directly walked up to and…read moreasked to throw away an outside drink. Could have been a reasonable interaction but the bartender, who we found out is the owner, came up to us said you can't bring a drink in here at all and hit the table with his fists. But did not go up to the others who had energy drinks, which weren't sold there... Another man got yelled out by the owner also for singing over him. Overall was a hostile and aggressive approach very unnecessary. Then he sat outside to smoke and talk to the other patrons about what happened lmao Definitely just a dive bar, I would not come back.
